Chapter 2

MHALIA

My head tilted up and the sun automatically hit my eyes. I immediately cover it with my hand and looked at the metal exalted gate with the name on it.

International Royal High

I didn't even take a step, pero pakiramdam ko masusunog na ako. I sighed. Curse me, I'll surely hate my self after this.

Halos pikit mata akong tumapak sa gate ng school. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng buhay pa ako. Sheez! I really hate this! D-mn it, dad!

I'd make few steps when someone called me.

"Ms. Leondale?" Someone approached me. I nod at her. She's one of the staff. I see. "I'm Lara, one of the registrar by the way. And it was nice to meet Mr. Leondale's daughter. This way, please."

Tinahak ko lang ang direksyong tinuro niya at hindi siya pinapansin. I have no time for chit chats. Naramdaman ko na lang na nasa tabi ko siya at hindi ko na siya nilingon.

"I'm gonna tour you first, Ms. Leondale."

She didn't get any response from me but true to her words, she toured me.

"There are three buildings in here. We called them Code. And those codes are base on the students IQ. The first one is Code Red. As you can see it's well arranged. Matataas lahat ng grado ng students sa building na to. They are all well mannered. Dito din nabibilang ang Star Section ng ibat ibang grade level. Amazing isn't it?" She smiled. "Ten stories for all Star Section of different grade level. Example sa first floor, andun lahat ng Star Section ng grade seven. Just like that. Ganun din sa second building."

Kanina ko pa kinakalma sarili ko ng marinig ko ang Section na yun. Umirap na lang ako.

Marami pa siyang sinabi sa building na to. Tape please. This one is making me irritated. Masyado niyang pinaglalantaran ang building na to. Kahit ata hindi kasali sa tour ay sinasali niya. Tsk.

Napadpad naman kami sa ikalawang building.

"Second building is like it's in between of two things. There IQ is not just high like the first building pero may utak din sila. It's like average. So we called it Code Blue. Section Diamond."

Marami pa siyang sinabi tungkol dito.

"Sa mga senior high naman ay nasa bandang kabilang gate iyon ng school kaya medyo malayo. You can classify your seniors or other codes by looking at their tie. Green kasi ang necktie ng mga seniors. And about collage? Nasa kabila iyong kalsada, just across the street then you are now at International Royal University."

When she suddenly stop, her eyes drop in her watch and looked at me with a wide smile.

"It's time for your exam."

That make my forehead knotted.

Exam? Kakaumpisa pa lang ng school year like duh.

Mukha naman niyang nakuha ang tanong sa isip ko ng mas lumawak pa ang ngiti nito. "The examiner will explain it to you."

I just nod while looking away and followed her once more.

Ng makarating kami sa isang building ay agad kaming sumakay ng elevator nang muli siyang nagsalita.

"This building is for the teachers and staff of the school by the way. And the cafeteria- I almost forgot that part. Don't worry mula sa taas ay makikita mo kung saan iyon. Ituturo ko iyon mamaya sayo."

Kalma Mhalia, nag-eexplain lang ang tao. Pero bwiset dahil pakiramdam ko mabibingi na ako sa kanya!

"And oh-"
